Mishael Morgan co-produced this Juneteenth video of her and fellow soap actors like Bryton, Sean Dominic, Christel Khalil, Angell Conwell, Tamara Braun, and Ryan Carnes speaking the words of MLK.

This is nice and all but SAY SOMETHING NEW. Use your words. Martin Luther King has been dead for 50 years, we have got to stop whipping out this speech every time there's racial upheaval in this country.

 

Not that they're doing it in this case but I constantly see MLK weaponized to shut black people up and I'm tired of it.

Oh damn. Days is gonna be tense as hell when they start filming again. Ugh! I'd kill to be a fly on the wall for that.

But I am so glad that they are calling Missy Reeves out. I hope someone unearths everything about her. 

 

And at this stage, they can kill Jennifer off. She's not that much useful anymore anyway.

Don't sleep on Miss Sweeney, y'all.  Someone tweeted yesterday she follows James Woods AND Candace Owens, both of whom have messages very harmful to certain groups of people.  

 

I don't fault folks for their beliefs and I rode with Ingo until he said there was no racism in America.  Jax can now die off screen.  However, I can't [!@#$%^&*] with anyone who agrees with hate.

 

Following Owens is very suspect but you'd think with Sweeney's history of being harassed by RRK, she'd have no room for predator Woods (Amber Tamblyn told him she was 16 after he hit on her but he still tried to get with her).  I guess Sweeney likes his message more than being bothered by the creepiness!

    • Agree. But I said that from go. Regardless of the setting and discussion over Joey of all the B/C plots, it was the one that got a build to it throughout and development. 
    • Are we sure Kat isn't really Dani's daughter?  She acts a lot more like Dani then either Chelsea or Naomi do.... imho.   She certainly loves breaking and entering people's places and has a one track vendetta like her auntie Dani. I'm glad to see some movement on the Joey/Vanessa/Doug story, but thinking about it... the pacing for this tale has been just right.  We needed to see Doug sink further and further into gambling addiction to the point where he can't pay it back... and we needed to see Joey/Vanessa in conversations getting to know one another before the two ended up hooking up.   So now I'm curious to see what happens next... and if Nicole and/or Dani will weigh in on this.. and if the dropped Jacob angle will be revived. Nice to see Ashley/Derek being support for the Bill/Hayley/Naomi/Chelsea situation with Ashley finally having a scene with Hayley while Derek lets Naomi know about Bill.   So Chelsea's new crush is the doctor handling Bill's case.  I wonder why she's acting so mysterious. Thoughts on the 'Coming next week' scenes: Andre... Dani is acting like a teenager about to be discovered hooking up with her boyfriend by her dad.  You're more mature than her..imho. Now Sharon/Tracy/Anita have buried the hatchet?   Or maybe it's a fake out.
    • The 90’s apartment Phyllis had will always be her best set, IMO.

    • I agree with you about rules & regs but, frankly, choosing between retirement & working uncredited, come on, we know what she'd choose & she'd be right to do so. 
    • Hold up, hold up, hold up!!!   MADISON MONTGOMERY???   If a Zoe, Misty Day, and/or Queenie shows up...lol.
    • The Producers Guild of America (PGA), while not a union, does have rules and regulations regarding membership, conduct, and yes, credits. Assuming she’s a member of course. Being uncredited for what work exactly? Given her years of experience and multiple Emmy wins - why now decide you want to go uncredited for work you’ve done? 
    • That's very sad. What party he represented for and which area he represented? 
    • -- Daisy is a terrible name. If you're not going with a family legacy name, you gotta do better than that. -- When Frank is done with a character, he makes sure that character is painted in the worst possible way and the shade is thrown in the script. Natalia is being treated like a punchline to a bad joke....not that I mind. -- So Cody talked about Britt today. Gee, I wonder what's going on.
    • I remember another Phyllis residence -- I don't think that was a set shown abovethread, but I'm not sure.  Trying to remember some things off the top of my head but I might be wrong about part of it: I'm referring to the condo where Phick first had sex after the Michael/Lauren wedding.  I think they specifically referred to it as a condo?  After Stafford's Phyllis went into a coma, Jack sold it and I think he gave money to HunterKing's Summer when she married Austin? Or he gave Summer the condo?    There was a convoluted side plot about someone needing money and something from this was drawn in a shady way.  Something about it being sold?  And then when GinaT's Phyllis awoke from her coma, she had no condo to come back to.
